May Guest Designer - Tarrah Mclean '1st Day at Kindy' & 'Dream Big'

Intoducing our May Guest Designer

Tarrah McLean

Hi everyone! My name is Tarrah McLean, I live near Sydney, Australia andI have been scrapbooking for 10 years!

My scrapbooking style has really evolved over time....I would currently describemy scrapbooking style as clean, layered, colourful, fun and trendy! Some of my favourite items to include on a layout are cut files, flair,machine stitching and splats of mist….some of my favourite brands to createwith are Crate Paper, Pink Paislee, Pinkfresh Studio, Fancy Pants and Bella Blvd.

I am so excited to be guest designing for Flutterby Designs this term….thank youso much for having me Anita! I hope you will find some inspiration in my workusing Anita’s amazing products!

'1ST DAY @ KINDY'

For this layout I used
loads of Flutterby goodies together with some Maggie
Homes/Crate Paper products. I firstly started my school themed layout by
cutting a circle from white cardstock with my Silhouette Cameo, this
created a hole in the centreof my page where I then backed the busy Crate paper patterned paper.

The inspiration for this layout came
from the colours and the circlesin the pillow my gorgeous niece is
sleeping on! I knew I just had to create a sleeping themed layout and
the Flutterby Designs products I used were a perfect fit for the
theme! I recreated the circle elements by flicking some different
coloured mists around my page, adding some of the Flutterby enamel
dots and also by using the strips of patterned paper top and bottom.

I
cut some of the Wild Bohemian Everyday Etc Cards up and layered lots
of them together underneath my photo. I added the 'Stitched Circles 2'
wood veneer, 3 of the Wild Bohemian Page Tabs and also added
some thread undereath the Flutterby 'I'm a Dreamer' Flair button. That
big black arrow was cut with black cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo, I
love how that added a bit more black to the bottom half of my page.
